Mrs.Dr.Mom (whew!)

From Stafford, Virginia, United States

Okay, so I'm newly married and soon to be a new mom. I've been in school for the past 9 years working towards my career goals. I took a year off last year for some relief and to be with my (at the time) boyfriend/now husband (we lived 3 hours apart for 3 years). So since taking a year off from my studies, we bought a home, got engaged, got married and are now expecting our first child. Very exciting...But looking forward to slowing down, catching my breath and just enjoying the newness of it all.

Going out to eat. It gets me out of the house, away from the compulsion to clean or fix things etc. (we're constantly "upgrading" our home), it's fun, but there's always something else you'd like to do. Maybe I should stop watching HGTV...lol.

Best advice I've gotten:

Define success for yourself...don't feel pressured to define your success by social norms. GREAT ADVISE!!!

Adjective to describe me:

Right now...PREGNANT!

My favorite book:

Lucky magazine...(sorry, I've read enough text book and such to last a lifetime). I prefer to keep it light in my leisure time.

Hi Mrs. Dr. Mom!
Thanks for your note! I think these are all great questions and the answer varies for different children. My child was pretty easy - he only cared about getting food - not how it came to him :)
I used Dr. Brown bottles, but again - it didn't really matter with him. You should join http://www.workitmom.com/group_expectingmoms - you'll get great response to your questions! Congrats on your pregnancy!!!
